Iran Cracks Down on Banned Web Sites

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran is using advanced U.S. technology to block web sites containing pornographic material and others run by opposition groups, an official said Tuesday.
Over 140 web sites promoting dissent against the ruling Islamic establishment, dancing and sex have been blocked since the crackdown was launched last month, said Farhad Sepahram, a Telecommunications Ministry official.
Most blocked sites belong to Iranian opposition groups, including one run by Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was toppled during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and Abolhassan Banisadr, Iran's first-elected president after 1979, who now opposes the clerical establishment.
Also blocked are the Voice of America's Farsi program and radiofarda.com, another U.S.-financed, Farsi-speaking radio program.

``We are employing modern U.S.-made devices to block immoral and abusive web sites,'' Sepahram told The Associated Press.
